In celebration of Earth Day, we are thrilled to announce that ABS-CBN Foundation and Uniqlo Philippines are making waves for marine biodiversity and sustainable livelihood 🌊🌏

The ABS-CBN Foundation is committed to protecting marine biodiversity. This partnership with Uniqlo marks a significant step forward in our Citizen Science program in Mabini, Batangas, and the Verde Island Passage (VIP)

In the same way that Uniqlo works toward accessibility, ABS-CBN Foundation’s - citizen science efforts engage local communities and make scientific inquiry more accessible to them through tools, training, and livelihood support. This may only be a drop in the ocean of good going towards the VIP, but AFI has always believed that we can do more together.

Uniqlo Philippines and ABS-CBN Foundation are in the service of the Filipino 🤗 🤝 🙌
